Zoo Lights

The BR Zoo had a new christmas
lights exhibit this year so we went
with Gram and Paw-Paw. Paw-Paw
liked to tell Aaron that everything was
a horse-- but he quickly corrected him.

Decorating the house

The finished product!

Decorating our Tree

Decorating Bub Bub's Tree

Last year we decorated a Bub Bub
tree to leave at the cementary but
we never had a chance to bring it out
there. We decided that we will do
one every year and this year we
actually did make it out there to place
it on Bub Bub's grave.




On a side story -- The other
night I put on a jacket that was my
mom's but I have never worn it and
its been in my closet since she died. Well
I came out in the living room wearing it
and Aaron said "Momma you can't wear
that jacket-- Thats Bub Bub's jacket."
Now how in the world he knew that was
my mom's jacket I will never know!

Feeding the ducks

We spent Thanksgiving in Alexandria
this year and we took time after the
turkey eating to find the ducks not
far from Pop Pop's house




Yes that is a Nutra Rat-- yuck!

Baking Birthday Cookies

We made some Mickey Mouse Birthday
cookies for Aaron's class at school this
week. The cookies were a huge hit
and made a huge mess!


Aaron loves to help bake cookies. He also
loves to eat the dough.


Here he is rolling the dough out


As with most mommy projects--
daddy always steps in to finish
the job-- mommy tends to lose
interest fast

The finished mickey cookies!

Thanksgiving Feast at school

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Aaron turned 3 this week! We celebrated
with cookies at school and a small
party on Saturday. He got lots of
great new toys to play with too.


Showing me how many fingers
he is


I made him a birthday shirt to
wear to school-- he was very
excited


He opened one present on his
birthday- The ants in your pants
game


Gram made him another great
mickey mouse cake this year.
We'll have to see if he requests
something different next year.
